[Bug 1497816] Re: No support for HDPI/retina displays in Java 7/8

 

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. OpenJDK does support high DPI displays such as the Retina
Display, but sometimes the application is not configured correctly
and/or might need additional settings to work.

Please take a look at http://superuser.com/questions/614960/how-to-fix-
font-anti-aliasing-in-intellij-idea-when-using-high-dpi

In particular, try adding these settings when calling the java binary:
-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on
-Dswing.aatext=true
-Dsun.java2d.xrender=true


If you don't know how to add those or the above settings don't fix your application, please answer these questions:

* What applications are affected by this?
* What version of the application?
* Are there any specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

Title:
  No support for HDPI/retina displays in Java 7/8

Status in openjdk-7 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have Ubuntu Wily 15.10 installed on a MBP retina and Java GUI apps
  (sadly all too common in research fields) are not scaled up to cope
  with the high pixel density, and so are displayed with unreadable
  fonts, icons, etc, which make them unusable.

  This is the case for both the OpenJDK 7 and 8 runtimes.
